5 Broncos players who deserve to make 2019 Pro Bowl

Rosters for the 2019 NFL Pro Bowl will be announced on Tuesday, Dec. 18 on NFL Network. Players, coaches and fans will each account for one-third of the voting for the Pro Bowl.

Former Broncos outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware will serve as a captain for the AFC squad this year. There are five Denver players that deserve to join Ware in Orlando for January’s All-Star game.

1. Von Miller, OLB

Miller has recorded 13.5 sacks through 13 games, which ranks second in the league and first in the AFC. He’s clearly one of the best defenders in the league and deserves to be a starter in the Pro Bowl.

2. Phillip Lindsay, RB

Lindsay has been Denver’s best offensive player this year, totaling 1,177 yards from scrimmage and scoring 10 total touchdowns. His 967 rushing yards rank fourth in the NFL and first among AFC running backs.

3. Bradley Chubb, OLB

Chubb has already notched 12.0 sacks, which is a franchise rookie record. He has recorded the sixth-most sacks in the NFL and the fourth-most among AFC defenders. Miller is the only outside linebacker in the conference that has recorded more sacks than Chubb.

4. Andy Janovich, FB

The Broncos are averaging 130.2 rushing yards per game, which ranks seventh overall and third among AFC teams. Denver’s running backs have been playing well but much of the credit for the Broncos’ running success belongs to the offensive line and the team’s fullback, “Jano.”

5. Chris Harris, CB

Yes, he’s currently on injured reserve, but Harris could be healthy in time for the Pro Bowl. Before breaking his leg, Harris recorded 49 tackles, three interceptions and one sack in 12 games. He is the only cornerback in the NFL with multiple interceptions each season since 2012.

Fan voting for the 2019 Pro Bowl will conclude on Thursday, Dec. 13. Fans can vote for the All-Star game at NFL.com/ProBowlVote.
